Education Room

As the name suggests, this space puts the focus on learning. Get hands on with pads & electronic drum kits and learn from some of the top educators in Scotland. Sessions vary in experience starting from total beginner, so if you’ve never picked up a pair of sticks before or want to hone your existing skills make sure to get signed up for a session in here.

We are about to expand on the event with an Education Vault on our site. Stay tuned for updates and scroll down to see more.

Education

Cross-Country

Our educators travel from all over Scotland and span from Aberdeen to Dalbeattie. They come from major Scottish cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow & Stirling to smaller towns like Johnstone, Cumbernauld and right here in Dumfries.

As Scotland’s only drum festival we have a duty to bring you the best educators from across the country to your Dumfries Drum Day experience.
